The Minnesota Twins are at a crossroads: clinging to injury-prone superstar Byron Buxton or trading him for future assets. With Buxton’s latest setback and the team’s bullpen in need of reinforcements, experts argue selling now could yield better long-term results. Despite his talent and home run power, Buxton’s chronic injury history makes him a risky asset. Trading him—especially with his no-trade clause—might be the bold move the Twins need to build a true contender, but leadership so far shows hesitation.

Royce Lewis is riding high after the Twins’ big series win in the Bronx — their first since 2014 — and he’s not just celebrating his own solid performance, but crediting his teammates, especially Kody Clemens and Josh Bell, who lit up the scoreboard. It’s a turning point for Lewis, who was struggling early this season and was sent down to Triple-A to fix his swing — and it worked. Since returning, he’s been hitting better, and with Clemens having a career year and Bell stepping up, the Twins are showing real lineup depth. This win in New York signals they’re finding their rhythm — and the second half could be special.

Byron Buxton just earned his third All-Star nod—and this time, he’s a fan-voted starter, making it a historic moment for him and the Twins. Teammate Joe Ryan joins him in the game, marking their second straight All-Star appearance together. Buxton’s been on fire this season with 25 homers and a solid OPS, while Ryan leads the league in starts with elite strikeouts and minimal walks. Despite injuries and a shaky bullpen, the Twins are staying competitive, even winning a series in New York after 12 years. Buxton credits his teammates and the team’s resilience for his success, calling this the most fun he’s ever had playing baseball. He’s avoided the injured list all year, even after recent hip discomfort, and the GM confirmed he’s not for trade—ever. With a no-trade clause and a contract through 2028, Buxton is locked in as a cornerstone and leader for the Twins.

The Minnesota Twins hold the third overall pick in the MLB Draft and face a pivotal decision: go for a top position player like shortstop Roch Cholowsky, catcher Vahn Lackey, or high school phenom Grady Emerson—or take a shot on ace pitcher Jackson Flora. With their farm system already loaded, the Twins must choose between a safer, high-impact bat or a potentially game-changing arm that could redefine their future.

The Yankees crumbled in a 11-4 loss to the Twins on July 4th, as rookie starter Brendan Beck struggled from the jump, surrendering three runs in the first including a homer, and the team trailed 5-0 by the third. Minnesota piled on with more homers, while Beck’s fastball lacked the punch needed at the big league level. The offense finally woke up in the fifth, but couldn’t hold off the Twins’ surge. The return of Cody Bellinger was a bright spot, especially with Aaron Judge still out — his presence is vital as the offense sputters without him. A loaded-base situation in the sixth went cold, and Josh Bell’s homer sealed the Twins’ lead. Camilo Doval’s shaky outing, including an unearned run, sealed the fate of the bullpen. The Yankees now face a critical need for pitching consistency if they hope to turn things around.

The Twins just added a bullpen wildcard: Woo-Suk Go, a Korean pitching phenom with elite minor league numbers and zero MLB innings. Acquired from Detroit for cash, Go’s been lights out in the minors with a 1.96 ERA and is set to debut against Cleveland. With the Twins’ bullpen in shambles — tied for worst in baseball — this risky move could be the spark they need.

Byron Buxton’s hip injury threatens the Minnesota Twins’ playoff push—his explosive season (25 HRs, .270 AVG, .900 OPS) and All-Star selection make his absence a massive blow. With the team just 2.5 games out of the Wild Card, the Twins hope he avoids the injured list, but tests may reveal a longer recovery. While they won’t trade him due to his no-trade clause, prolonged absence could force tough decisions at the trade deadline. The season’s fate hinges on Buxton’s health.

Byron Buxton crushed it right out of the gate, smacking a double on his fifth pitch to score a run, then Kody Clemens followed with his third straight homer as the Twins blasted six homers en route to an 11-4 rout, tying the series. The Yankees, reeling after eight losses in nine games, couldn’t keep up with Minnesota’s firepower. Zebby Matthews started strong but exited in the fifth after a foot injury, leaving the Yankees to claw back to 6-4 — only for the Twins’ bullpen to shut them down. Josh Bell became the game’s true hero, launching two more homers — one with the bases loaded — to seal the win, extending his own hot streak to four homers in five games. The Twins’ top of the order delivered again, turning a shaky start into a dominant victory.
